MS/PhD Graduate Research and Teaching Assistantship, Marine Science and Hydrographic Science

Opportunities for research and teaching assistantships (M.S. and Ph.D.) are available for qualified graduate students in the Department of Marine Science at the University of Southern Mississippi (see http://www.usm.edu/marine/).

Current annual stipends range from $20,400 for Master Students to 21,600 for first year Ph.D. students, with full tuition waivers, health insurance coverage and other university fees paid. The department has active ongoing basic and applied research programs in all emphasis areas (biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography and hydrographic science), with strong field- and lab-based interdisciplinary research components. Departmental resources include extensive laboratory and state-of-the-art analytical and computational facilities. The location of the department at the NASA John C. Stennis Space Center provides ready access to coastal systems and collaborative opportunities with a myriad of federal agencies (NASA, NOAA, NRL, NAVO, USGS, EPA).

Potential students are encouraged to contact the Department at marine.science@usm.edu or to contact individual faculty members (see http://www.marine.usm.edu/faculty/dms_fac.html), and should visit http://www.usm.edu/marine/ for additional information and application instructions.
